Character Chatter Friday!

This weeks Character Chatter (started by Austine at The Magick Pen) is below! First of all, a little introduction - meet the characters we'll be chatting with!
Rue (from upcoming novel The Clockwork Universe): She's stubborn, snarky, acerbic - a tomboy of a teenage girl trapped in a Victorian-esque society of lady-like behaviour.

Kieran: Rue's guardian. an inventor/scientist, all round clever guy. Mild mannered, soft spoken, polite.

This week's Chatter question is:

If you could only take five things to a deserted island, what would they be?

Kieran: A deserted island? Well, first we'd have to know what the climate is like.  And then-
Rue: *scowls, tapping her foot* Just answer the question, will you?
Kieran:  Well, I would have to bring my tools. I'd like to think of myself as a bit of a tinkerer.
Rue: I would bring... I would bring.... my...
Kieran: What? your thieving tools? your lockpick, and your bolt cutters? they won't do you much good on an empty island, would they?
Rue: *glares at Kieran* I would bring my journal and charcoal for writing.
Kieran: and I would have to bring Maddigan.
Rue: That bitey little bugger?! It stinks and is as soft as a upside down pin-cushion!
Kieran: She's not an 'it', she's a she. And we'd have to take her.  I couldn't leave her alone, she wouldn't survive.
Rue:  There's plenty of rats and roaches around. In our little place, and on the streets.
I'd bring that little gun of yours, just in case. It might not be a deserted island.
Kieran: Is it all about weapons and deception with you? Can't you trust anyone? Trust that things will be okay?
Rue: No, I can't. And you know why. *Turns and starts to walks away*
Kieran: *shouts* You couldn't walk away from this if we were on a deserted island!
Rue: Are you really that big of a fool?
